be included? Make a wish list of aspect of your model that need to be
added, removed or changed in the next version of the model.
Students were also asked to log their activities, problems, and successes;
possible explanations for problems and successes, and, lessons learned.
5.3.2 Grading Rubrics
After we identified the criteria that defined performance, we created performance descriptions (Wolf & Stevens, 2007) to describe the appropriate level of understanding for intended learning outcomes (Biggs & Tang, 2011). Here we quote these descriptions:
Case and research question. (1) What do you know about this phenomenon? If need be, carry out the necessary research.
• Prestructural: Nothing or simplistic idea of the phenomenon. Performed no research.
• Unistructural: Some general description. Performed no research or only limited to isolated aspects of the phenomenon
• Multistructural: Performed some research. Able to name more relevant aspects of the phenomenon, but mentions no relations among these aspects
• Relational: Performed research. Complete idea of the phenomenon. Able to name relevant aspects of the phenomenon, have insight into relations among these aspects
• Extended abstract: Additionally, described the relation of this phenomenon to other phenomena in the world and/or conceptualized this phenomenon so as to be able to use it other contexts restricted and its relevance explained. Stated its relevance for other phenomena
(2) What part of your phenomenon would you like to build a model of?
• Prestructural: Nothing, or a few non-specific remarks but missing
the point
• Unistructural: Few isolated aspects of the phenomenon identified
• Multistructural: Described what (part of the) phenomenon is being
modeled.
• Relational: Clearly explained what (part of the) phenomenon is
being modeled, together with limits of what is being modeled and its significance for the whole.
